Aviation Cocktail Recipe
Aviation Cocktail takes its name to honor the era of flight, in its literal sense. The drink was introduced only a few years after the Wright Brothers introduced their first flight, when men had their feet on the ground but heads in the sky. After the Wright Brother’s invention, this drink was the next big thing to have been experienced by mankind (Exaggeration much? Not really!). Although the Aviation Cocktail lost its past glory because the production of Crème de Violette was suspended (one of the major ingredients that the drink takes its distinctive taste and color from), but now the drink is coming back with a bang, so much so that a group of distillers in the U.S. state of Oregon are now producing Aviation Gin, clearly acknowledging the cocktail’s demand amongst drinkers seeking the cloudy drink. If you’re looking for a mixed drink that tantalizes your taste buds while also giving the buzz that many crave for, an Aviation Cocktail is the drink for you.
